Report name in AOT from its name in the module ?

Report

Posted on by Abdullah Mhmd

hi,

i have a lot of customization in several reports in several AX modules (Bank, GL, Account Payable ,....).

what i do to reach the report in AOT, i go first to the module (let's say Bank) then to reports box and fetch the name (say unreconciled bank transactions). and then i go to AOT and try to find the report by matching the words of the report.

So since the name of the report in AOT is "BankAccountReconciliation" and in the module is "unreconciled bank transactions", It's really wasting of time doing it this way.

so is there any other way help me find the report in AOS with its equivalent from the module?

Thanks

Hi,

I am not sure if it is exactly what you want, but you can add the report name to the ReportViewer window title. See example at http://dax-cz.blogspot.com/2009/10/zobrazeni-nazvu-reportu.html (text is in Czech, but there is also source code and screenshot).

Best regards,
Martin Dráb

Try this way:
1. open Menus node in AOT, open module you need and find your report.
2. Right click on thhis node -> Add-Ins -> Open in new window -> Open used menu item
3. the same with opened menu item:
Right click -> Add-Ins -> Open in new window -> Open used Report

I think you're asking about Select button on these forms, but I'm not sure.
If not - give an report name and what you would like to change

Hello,

You can customize the dialogue by overriding the dialogue method of the report.

Thanks.

Hi Abdullah,

The report you mention is a very difficult one. Various classes are business logic is used to build this report. But if you want to change the dialog, you have to search the report "InventSpecPosted" in the AOT. Then open the methods and look for the method "dialog". It says:

public Object dialog(Object _dialog)
{
    Object dialog;
    ;

    dialog = super(_dialog);

    dialog = inventSpecReport.dialog(dialog);
    return dialog;
}

In this case the dialog is build in a class "InventReport_DimParmBase" called "inventSpecReport" in this report. Also a method "dialog" is used.

public Object dialog(Dialog _dialog = dialog)
{
    ;
    dialog = super(_dialog);

    dialogDate      = dialog.addFieldValue(typeid(DateOnhand), perDate);
    dialogShowZero = dialog.addFieldValue(typeid(ShowZeroLines), showZeroLines);

    return dialog;
}

This method is used by several reports, so do not change it without looking deeply into these inventory reports.

In the class declaration you can add variables and dialogfields. Then you can add some fields in the code above. But if you want to have the values as a filter you have to add code in the method "getfromdialog" in this class as well. Then you can use the variables somewhere in the report or classes for e.g. adding ranges to the query.

Hope this will get you further...
